Yep, seals. Dad took me huntin' for them once...nearly lost his other leg an' an arm. Nasty things. They're easier if you have a spear or a lance, somethin' you can throw from a distance. If you've got th' arm strength, you can pin them to th' ground an' watch them bleed out.
[Sorry, Hiro, she's not noticing the look on your face, just chewing her pizza. This is normal dinner conversation back home after all, though she does glance at his arms and - nope, noodle arms. Looks like she's not taking him seal hunting. Still, he has her attention when he goes on to describe San Fransokyo, looking at him over her slice. It all sounds so fantastical, like tales her mother would tell her about the Otherworld.
She can't help smiling when he mentions messing up in the kitchen, laughing a little. She can recognize that he appreciates his aunt, knowing how much she now appreciates her own mother.]
I tried helpin' out th' handmaidens in th' kitchens once an' I nearly set fire to th' castle if it makes you feel better. Sam's been helpin' me get better with it, but I'm still better at campfire cookin'. [There's a pause, tilting her head.] So...theoretically you could eat cooked marshmallows if you have fire magic, right? [Merida then shakes her head at the question.] If you know how to make snares an' fire an arrow, they're not a problem. You can go off an' leave everythin' to th' snare an' come back for it if you're not leavin' th' area.
